Description
P1: 5.5, ~30m?, ~7 bolts? ⭐
A slightly tough start getting up the undercut corner leads to easy slab and dirt climbing to the bolted anchor on a slopey dirt ledge.
Simul’ing P1-2 with 30m of rope works well.
P2: 5.7, ~30m? ~7 bolts? ⭐⭐⭐
From the belay, traverse left on the dirt ledge for 5m (good photo op) and then go straight up the corner/face for heavier bolted 5.7 climbing, and then end on some dirt slope meadows, belaying from a bolted anchor on a rock.
P3: 5.4, ~25m? ~4 bolts? ⭐
Continue up the meadows following various bolts to another bolted anchor on a rock in the dirt/meadows.
Simul'ing P3-4 with 30m of rope works well.
P4: 3rd class, ~30m? ~2 bolts? ⭐
Traverse left on the meadow dirt ledges, and continue traversing straight left. Near the end, stay left and lower of a different slightly higher and closer anchor, ending on a pretty decent dirt ledge.
P5:
Climb the left line into the white rock. Not the line straight ahead into a flake.
P6: 5.8, 10m, 8 Bolts
Traverse left along thin ledges
P7: 5.10B, 35m, 18 Bolts

P8: 5.9, 35m, 12 Bolts
P9: 5.10B, 30m, 12 Bolts

P12: 5.8, 20m, 10 Bolts
